I am working on a Lula quote where the machine room is around 60 feet away from the Shaft.
I will be running a 3/4" pipe schedule 80 from the machine room to the shaft.
Does anyone had any experience running hydraulic pipe that far from the shaft?
Are there any issues doing it this way and any special precaution I need to take?

I unfortunately do not that the working pressure/Static pressure yet. It is a 3 floor system with 1400lb weight.

That's not a long distance. Pascal's Law! Just minimize the elbows and properly mount pipe.

I will say that if you have a long overhead pipe run with a car with a relatively low rise, I have seen issues with air getting trapped in the oil line. Some times it is necessary to add a extra bleeder somewhere in between the jack and pump unit.
